A wild place to shop and eat


Here is our own wild bunch standing outside the Rainforest Cafe in Grapevine Tejas. Maybe next time we'll stop and eat there.

The restaurants are decorated to depict some features of a generic rainforest including plant growth, mist, waterfalls, robotic animals, and insects. Large marine aquariums are common in most restaurants. Automated water sprinklers and synchronized lights set to specific patterns are also featured. A simulated thunderstorm occurs every thirty minutes, utilizing simulated rain as well as flashing lights and high-powered subwoofers for lightning and thunder. Some of the cafes feature robotic talking animals to give visitors facts about the rainforests. The restaurants are partitioned into several rooms by means of rain curtains that fall into basins running along the tops of partition walls and booths.
